“Jeni is a talented, trusted, handler. She is kind, patient, punctual, honest, friendly, fun, and extremely loving. I can’t possibly express how grateful I am to have Jeni help me with my precious dogs. Her expertise, patience and knowledge have added so much to their lives. They both enjoy-walks, playtime, socialization. My dogs, Brutus (6 year old male Pekingese) and Rambo (1 year old male pug mix, rescue, are thrilled when Jeni comes to take them for their walks, and play dates. Rambo is very shy and panicky. Jeni takes as much time as needed to let Rambo settle which is within seconds. Brutus loves everybody so he and Rambo enjoy their time with Jeni tremendously. Highly, highly, recommend Jeni. I welcome any questions.”
“Iuliia was really great with our dogs Charlie and Pixie! She watched them for 3 nights at our home, and She sent us lots of pictures, videos, and updated us every day. We appreciate you watching them and caring for Charlie and Pixie! Thanks so much!”
“I could not have asked for a better care giver for our fur baby while we were out of town than Emily. My kitten does not do well alone and she stayed at our home with him and he took to her right away. She provided me with regular updates, was incredibly kind and responsive, respectful, and responsible. She was in ongoing communication with me and followed every ask I had. I would use her again in a heartbeat!”
About: I grew up with 3-4 dogs in my house at all times. I love being able to make sure dogs are taken care of and loved on when watching them. I always make sure to tend to the dog’s needs and provide that comfort space for them, allowing them to be comfortable quickly with me. I am very easy going and very good at communicating, so you will not have to worry about bad communication throughout the watch. I am currently doing online school and I coach softball so the summer is fairly free for me if I do not have my days blocked off. I have lots of time to tend to your dog. I am very mindful about doing things for a long amount of time because I know I have a responsibility to take care of your dog. I am able and willing to take care of your dogs however you need me to. I am very easy going and love to just relax when I can so I give dogs that space to relax in my place as well. I love to match the dog’s energy so if they want to relax or play, I am comfortable providing that!
“Daniela is incredible! She’s so communicative and sent so many cute photos and videos of my fur baby! My cat took to her very quickly and I was able to travel with peace of mind knowing she was getting the attention and playtime she needed while I was away!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was young, and it’s something I genuinely enjoy. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and check in on their pets while they’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also have experience with energetic dogs, basic training, and keeping routines consistent so your pet stays happy and stress free I’m available Thursday through Sunday with a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. I prioritize maintaining your dog’s routine, including feeding times, walks, and play, so they feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I provide a safe, clean, and structured environment for every dog in my care. I do have friendly, well-socialized dogs of my own, so if your pet is comfortable around other dogs, they’ll have great companionship and supervised playtime. If your dog prefers space or requires separation, I can easily accommodate that and ensure they have a secure environment. I’m also comfortable following specific instructions, including crating if needed, to match your dog’s routine and your preferences.
“Molly was incredibly flexible & willing to work with us to make sure our 7 month old puppy was adequately cared for while we were in and out over the long weekend. She was attentive to our pup’s needs, and provided care as if our pup was one of her own!”
“Jenna was fantastic at taking care of our fur babies while we were away for the weekend! She helped us last minute which was much appreciated, and helped us feel at ease during our stay away with so many pictures and videos. Our dog got so many walks in, he was spoiled indeed. And our house was well taken care of as well. Thank you so much Jenna for everything! We truly appreciate it 🙏🏻”
“Alondra took a good care of my dog for 3 days that I was out of town. It was my first time leaving my dog with someone other than family and she loved Alondra . To me it was very important that my dog feels safe and not anxious when I’m out for few days and I’m glad I found Alondra that could stay with TaTa at my place so TaTa felt so relaxed. 🐶🙏🏻😍”

“We had a great experience with Nancy. She was very responsive from the start and kept us updated multiple times a day (with pictures) on how our dog was doing, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. Everything was left clean and tidy, and the whole experience felt very professional. We’d be happy to book with her again.”
About: I have 3 dogs at home, two small and one large. I have had dogs all my life and I am comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes! I understand the importance of the first time meeting a dog and will be patient until they feel comfortable around me.

I triple check everything is the way it should be prior to heading out the door to ensure the comfort and safety of my clients pet.
“Great at communicating, sending photos and videos. There was one hiccup. In our opinion, best way to understand how good someone is is to see how they react to a situation. She was brilliant, organized and effective. Left the house beautiful and the pets happy. Will def use her services moving forward.”
“Sanaz took care of our two dogs with so much care while staying at our house. She also watched over our bearded dragon and three leopard geckos, making sure their lights were on and off when they were supposed to be and their water topped up. I would have her in our home again! I felt very safe with her care and attention to all. Thank you, Sanaz!”
About: I have had many pets since I was a kid such as cats, dogs, parrots, bunnies and even iguanas as well as taken care of pets from family members and friends. Moreover, I have taken care of my cat since he was a kitten 4 years ago and fallen further in love with cats ever since. Fun fact I trained him to use the toilet! I am very exited to become your cat(s) and dog(s) new friend, take care of them, play and most importantly show them affection and everything I’ve learned about animals. I am also open to other animals and learn in the process as new knowledge is greatly appreciated! I am working part time and available mornings until 1 p.m then 6:30 p.m to 10 p.m on Tu/Wed/Fr; and Mo/Th mornings until 1 p.m only. Saturday and Sunday varies but I’m willing to accommodate. I can care for your pet by following specific instructions and keep them within reach and sight, making sure they are supervised all the time and keeping an eye for anything they can chew/eat or swallow that can pose a potential threat; as well as following feeding schedules and potty breaks.

We just did our first overnight stay with Daniela watching our two dogs and one cat. She was fabulous! We’ve never been comfortable leaving our dogs because they have some weird quirks — and one is quite reactive on walks — but she was a true pro and handled everything beautifully. We got lots of updates and photos and all the animals were very happy. She also went above and beyond to wash the sheets before leaving! We’ve definitely found our go-to sitter.
Audry was amazing when she babysat our dog Lucy. She took great care of her and her discipline on sticking with our pup’s schedule was well appreciated. This was the first time having a sitter stay in our home, and the trust and vulnerability this takes is huge but Audry made the experience less stressful or nerve racking as she took great care of our home and our Lucy. We will definitely book again, and won’t hesitate to reach out!
Jeni is a talented, trusted, handler. She is kind, patient, punctual, honest, friendly, fun, and extremely loving. I can’t possibly express how grateful I am to have Jeni help me with my precious dogs. Her expertise, patience and knowledge have added so much to their lives. They both enjoy-walks, playtime, socialization. My dogs, Brutus (6 year old male Pekingese) and Rambo (1 year old male pug mix, rescue, are thrilled when Jeni comes to take them for their walks, and play dates. Rambo is very shy and panicky. Jeni takes as much time as needed to let Rambo settle which is within seconds. Brutus loves everybody so he and Rambo enjoy their time with Jeni tremendously. Highly, highly, recommend Jeni. I welcome any questions.
It was such a joy to have Geena pet/house sit for us! We had to leave for a week for a family memorial service and couldn't have been happier with her care for our dog and cat (and python)! She really went above and beyond to give our pets plenty of love, play, and attention, and was great about giving plenty of updates. Love that she was super transparent about all our pets' behavior while we were gone, letting us know when they ate or didn't eat, how our dog was on walks, etc. Above all, you can tell she really loves animals, and we'd be more than happy to have her watch our babies again in the future!
This is our second time using Emily and she is just fantastic! I cannot recommend her enough, she is so caring and thoughtful and provides such excellent care for our fur baby. She sends daily updates and pictures and also took great care of the house since we had her stay at the house for the duration of our vacation as well. Highly trustworthy and responsible, we would continue to use her again every time!
Sanaz took wonderful care of our two dogs and two cats while our family was away on vacation. Her communication was always prompt whenever we had a question or wanted to check in. She sent several photos / videos each day and helped administer medication for our cat. I definitely recommend Sanaz as a trustworthy and caring pet / house sitter.
Gabriella was absolutely amazing at taking care of my Amstaff. I was away for the holidays for a couple of weeks, and very anxious, but Gabriella helped to ease that worry. She gave me daily updates, followed instructions, and played with Saint (my dog) every night! I will definitely be hiring her again in the future
Farrah was really great! She stayed at our house for a week with our dog and did an amazing job. She sent lots of updates and was always very reachable whenever we checked in, which gave us so much peace of mind. She was also kind enough to come by a few days before we left to do a walk-through of the house and meet our dog, which we really appreciated. We came home to a happy dog and a house left in great condition. We truly appreciated having someone so trustworthy and reliable caring for both our home and our dog. We would absolutely recommend Farrah and would love to work with her again.
Erika is excellent and detail-oriented. She took notes on each of our cats, not just on their needs, but also on their personalities and habits. Erika sent us daily updates and pictures of our darling fur babies. Next time we go on vacation, we are booking Erika. You should too!
Joycelyn is awesome! She took wonderful care of our pup Shiloh. She’s exceptionally warm, accommodating and kind, and that made all the difference with our baby. We have a lot of unique instructions to take care of our dog because he does have some behavior issues and she handled it perfectly. 10 out of 10, 100% recommend and we will absolutely be hiring her again!
Adilene was absolutely amazing - tons of pics, very communicative, and able to give my senior pup her medicine. When I had travel issues with cancelled flights, she was so kind and helpful in extending to continue care for another day while I sorted out getting home. Easily one of the best sitters I've ever booked through Rover, would highly recommend!
Booked for some house sitting for my cat Suki, who tends to be very anxious and shy. My apartment was honestly left in better condition than I had originally left it (lol), updates were frequent and with very high responsiveness, which was very appreciated. I would & will probably book again and really appreciate all the help while I went on my mini-vacation! Suki was well taken care of and was exactly as comfortable/loved as could be
